Evaluating the Quality of Information on the Internet
Researchers should evaluate the quality of information appearing online or in print based on five criteria--scope of coverage, authority, objectivity, accuracy and timeliness. This guide defines the criteria, documents incidents of questionable, false or fraudulent information as reported in the news or trade literature, provides examples of Web sites that illustrate good or bad information, and suggests strategies that help you detect bad information.

Transportation Futuristics
A Presentation of the Harmer E. Davis Transportation Library

California Rails is a collection of railroad photographs from the archives of the UCR/California Museum of Photography. I chose this project because my family has a history of involvement with the railroad industry. My grandfather was a doctor for the Union Pacific Railroad in Walla Walla, Washington. My husband's grandfather worked on a donkey engine used to move logs in the
Sierras at the very time Harry Pidgeon was photographing that industry. One great-grandfather was a train conductor based in Oakland, California. Another (Fedot) went from Russia to Harbin, Manchuria to work on the Chinese Eastern Railroad, a part of the Trans-Siberian Railroad.
I have ridden across the country and back on Amtrak and have fallen asleep to the rhythmic rocking of the rails. I can attest to the romantic and nostalgic feelings many of us have for trains. Whether it is the tiny toy train that we played with as children or the giant locomotives that roar through our cities to criss-cross the continent, trains remain a favorite fascination of children and adults alike.

Vintage Cameras
Welcome to the Digital Camera Guide Gallery of Vintage Cameras. We must admit that it may seem a little odd to have picture gallery of old cameras on a site that promotes digital cameras, but the way we see it, these cameras are now collecting dust and yet they do, like all antiques, hold a certain appeal.

New ocean species uncovered
Scientists exploring the
depths of the mid-Atlantic
ridge were excited to
uncover a wealth of new
species, including a bright
red squid.
The two-month long,
Norwegian-led expedition is part
of the international Census of
Marine Life (CoML).
The 10-year census, which began in 2000, aims to record all
known marine life, in an aquatic "Doomsday Book".
